Let's Sing Scipture

One of the best ways to lock Scripture into your heart and mind is through singing. I’ve set a number of Scriptures into super singable songs to help you do just that. You’re invited to join me on Three Monday nights in November. The format will be a very relaxed sing-along time of fellowship. We’ll sit in a circle, learn the songs together, and have a fun time as we hide these words in our hearts. All voices and all ages are welcome. Got questions? Contact Dave Burkum (dave.burkum@gmail.com).

Bethel Youth Rally
Youth Rally |November 10
Looking for a chance to do something fun with youth group friends and lots of others as well? Want to eat on Bethel’s campus and enjoy a night designed just for you? Well you’re in luck.
Bethel University, Converge North Central, and Trout Lake Camps believe that there is a need for a dynamic, one-night event designed to bring youth groups together from around the Twin Cities at a price point that everyone can afford. The mission is to hear the Gospel, participate in dynamic worship, laugh out loud, and return home on a mission to make a difference in your schools, communities, and churches!
Gospel Message – Dynamic Worship – Giveaways – Comedy – Pre-Event Dinner
About Our Speaker:
The event will include special guest speaker Joelle Hassler! Joelle is a pastor in the Twin Cities and has been speaking to students for over 20 years! Her passion is to help students connect with Jesus through stories, Scripture, and lots of laughter and fun. Joelle loves hot weather, walks with her dog, staying up late, and watching other people play sports.
Theme: Under Pressure
Every student experiences pressure. Pressure from friends, school, sports, parents…the list could go on and on. Is there any way to relieve this pressure? Let’s find out together as we learn how faith in Jesus can make a huge impact on the pressures we face.
Meet at Bethel University Benson Great Hall at 5:30 pm, eat at the dining commons, and return to the Great Hall for an amazing night. Register by October 30th.
